사파리 플레인스

Located a couple of hours or so from Jo'burg airport, Safari Plains is a wonderful oasis. The Lodge is great, plenty of room to have meals. The menus are brilliant and there is no chance of anyone going hungry. There is a swimming pool, which we never used. The accommodation is very spacious with a lovely small verenda. Very comfortable bed and the bathroom area is massive - we seemed to have a family room. The amentities in the accommodation are brilliant, everything you could need and the soaps/shampoo are amazing - I'm looking for a site to order some! The accommodation is kept spotlessly clean. The staff are amazing, there is nothing that is an issue and there is a small gift area in reception. The safari drives were amazing. Both Ben and Michaela worked hard to ensure we saw all that we could see. They imparted their extensive knowledge in a very understandable way and not just about the animals. The refreshments after the morning and late afternoon drives were always presented beautifully. I am really struggling to understand how Safari Plains is rated as 4 star, I would rate them 5 star.

The staff and food are without question top class and you are guaranteed to be well looked after. Room was beautiful and always in pristine clean condition. There are personal touches that just make the whole experience mind blowing.

Very poor hospitality with no apparent management. Felt like a kid’s camp, very regimented. If you’re not up at 5am for the morning safari, there is nothing to do until the afternoon safari at 4.30pm, so it is very boring. We kept getting conflicting answers as to whether we were on an inclusive package or not, which was unsettling. The phone in our lodge didn’t work despite our requests, so we couldn’t contact reception, housekeeping, etc. lights not working, shower drain blocked. You get the idea
